The Government has been able to exploit a loophole which the creators of the law in the constitution had not envisaged, especially as it was given life after the 18th Amendment granting autonomy to provinces. The contention is, what will be the fate of the provincial Governments during elections for the Federal Government as law stipulates caretaker setup which cannot happen if the provinces are already operating (which in this case will be true as the provincial governments will not dissolve with the federal government).Terrible precedent. This provides any government a huge incentive to purposely make things bad in Pakistan and delay elections indefinitely. Why will anyone voluntarily give power when they can find any excuse to remain in government.
The political parties should have sat together to find a solution out rather than to hold on to their egos. The Supreme Court annihilated the constitution when they gifted Punjab Government to Imran Khan by not counting votes of the dissidents and disqualifying them. I mean, how can the SC punish any member if their so called sin is invalidated in the first place? Anyway, IK was foolish enough to dissolve the Punjab Government as he was led to believe it would create pressure on the federal government to call for National Elections.......The rest, as they say, is history.
